I am trying to pull something out of my memory. Seems like that if you go to a URL which is like HTM, HTML, PHP etc. that just display. If you go to a URL which has is ZIP, 7Z, EXE, etc then you are asked if you wish to download. Can you actually get a URL which is a folder?

I think I have seen reference to plugins, extensions, addons or something to do just what you are asking. Now if I could only remember where I saw the reference. I will research.

Have you tried using FTP client rather than a web browser to view and xfer files from the server? One that I use in kmeleon is KMfireFtp. but it does not always run properly on the newest unofficial versions. Should work in 1.6b2 or below though.
